I think that the Turbo wants more grip. Also, cold traction isn’t really a factor in SD.

On my 4th set of conti Etx DW”s. No help here but I do love them.

I liked the DW's on a 335xi, but they are a gentler tire and don't really compete with the PSS for feel and grip. Soft sidewalls, in my experience as in some Conti tires. They are decent in the wet.

It's not just the dates. Even with 6/32nds depth, my PS2's turned to hard plastic only 3 years from production (2 years on the car) in 16k miles of street driving.

I haven't seen the M3 in like 3 months - guess I should head over this weekend to check it out and will look at the tires while I'm there. :)

Maybe you can put it on bat and get 36k. =P

The only question is whether you decide less grip is more fun. I'm actually really enjoying the PS A/S3+ on my E36, which has just the right amount of grip.

Ditto. Replaced the PSS on my 2 with the A/S 3+ and quite prefer them.

Lol, no. I do plan to have it repainted sometime in the next few years.

I'm tempted to do this next time I need tires on the e46.

New tires go on today, and then we can discuss it again in another 10 years. :)

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:06 AM.
